Manual Chapter 01: Start Here

This chapter explains what Taskdeck is for and how to get to first value quickly.

What Taskdeck Is For

Taskdeck helps you move from messy input to explicit, reviewable work.

The core promise is simple:

  1. capture something fast
  2. shape it into a proposal
  3. review the change before it lands
  4. continue the real work on a board

Taskdeck is not trying to hide automation behind silent mutation. The review step is part of the product, not a temporary limitation.

The Fastest Useful Path

  1. open Home
  2. create or open a useful board
  3. put one note or task into Inbox
  4. run Start Triage
  5. open Review
  6. approve and execute one proposal
  7. continue from the board

If you only do one thing on your first run, do that loop once.

Glossary

Home

  • the default landing page and reset surface

Today

  • the agenda view for review, triage, and due or blocked board work

Inbox

  • where rough notes, pasted text, follow-ups, and transcripts wait to be shaped

Review

  • the trust gate where proposals stop before they touch a board

Boards

  • the shipped label for workspaces where cards live

Projects

  • the product-facing term that may appear in docs or later UI language for the same board concept

Queue

  • an advanced manual automation input surface, not the normal first-run path

Agents

  • future-facing supervised assistant surfaces that are not part of the shipped shell yet

What Is Shipped Today

Shipped and part of the normal path:

  • Home
  • Today
  • Inbox
  • Review
  • Boards

Shipped but usually advanced:

  • Chat
  • Activity
  • Notifications
  • Ops
  • Access
  • Archive

Planned, not shipped:

  • Agents
  • Runs
  • Knowledge
  • Integrations

If You Want A Richer First Run

From frontend/taskdeck-web:

npm run demo:seed

Use the seeded workspace when:

  • you want real examples immediately
  • you are evaluating the product rather than starting empty
  • you need a walkthrough or training baseline

Common Mistakes

  • starting from Queue instead of Inbox
  • thinking Review is optional
  • expecting Agents or Integrations to be current top-level workspace pages
  • reading Projects in docs as a different concept from the current Boards label
